It seems that this fs might have had a chance. Then I got to it. End of story.

Thank you everyone for the nice and kind comments. I'm quite surprised at this response. This fs seems like a mess to me. The challenge was managing the thin-thick strokes. If all strokes were even thickness, it would have been possible to manage the 23° and 67° angles but because of the varying thicknesses, lining up the bricks got tricky. That's why, if you notice, all the thick strokes are not the same and neither are the thin ones. Which resulted in quite a few stroke thicknesses. This is why some letters seem more substantial than other. But geometrically, I couldn't find any other solution. This is why I say this fs is a mess. Consequently, your comments are very kind indeed. Thanks.

What you call a "mess" is way, way better than some people's best. I am working on something which is geometrically similar, and with both this font and my font, I don't perceive any problem with the thickness of the strokes. To me, this is spectacular, and if you've noticed, it's barely second to db Soda on the TP list. Keep going!

Dear master: I try some "tricky" (and soft) solutions for you here. It's just a difficult treat, you know. Be benevolent, please.

Interesting font. Do you plan to add umlauted vowels to go with that sharp S?

For nearly 4 months, db Soda has been the highest rated fontstruction. Now it's fs iie with a rating of 9.5. Could it get a 10.0 rating? Let's hope no trolls get this one. 10/10 myself.
